PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Introduction
The paper mainly focuses on the different project management principles which are
mainly applied in order to redevelop an app for Uber drivers in order to give proper directive
approach to the drivers and for providing them the experience of simple and fastest driving. The
paper reflects on the PMBOK in order to determine the different knowledge areas as well as
procedures that are helpful in creating proper impact on the practices of project management. In
addition to this, the paper also makes proper comparison within the different approaches of
project management in order to successfully execute the activities of the project. Moreover,
proper techniques as well as management tools are generally used for successfully managing the

2. Discussion
Impact of PM practices as well as PMI’S code of ethics
The app redevelopment project for the Uber drivers will mainly act as personal coach for
providing proper service to the customers. It is found that both PM practices as well as PMI’s
code of ethics are mainly used as per the PMBOK knowledge areas (Kerzner, 2018). The most
significant practice that is required to be adopted while developing the app is defining the project
scope as well as project objectives. Proper knowledge and understanding about the objectives of
the project would be helpful in providing proper idea about the execution of the project and thus,
the entire project team can be capable of executing the work that is associated with the project
quite significantly.
In addition to this, proper understanding about the roles and responsibilities of the project
stakeholders for developing the app is necessary. As the drivers of Uber generally need to make

some calculation about the place from which they can be able to get much more profit in order to
properly elaborate the project deliverables quite effectively. Moreover, project planning is also
considered as one of the important practice that is needed by the project managers for completing
the entire work of the project in order to achieve success (Badewi, 2016). Appropriate estimation
is considered to be necessary for each of the activities of the project such the dependencies of the
activities assist in producing proper realistic schedule of the project in order to execute the work
of the project. Additionally, communication is also one of the tool that is helpful in performing
the basic functions which are related with management and generally assist in proper planning,
organizing as well as properly motivating and controlling the project team (Banihashemi et al.,
2017).
It is also necessary to use PMI’S ethics within the project in order to redevelop the app
for Uber as it generally helps in stakeholders, employees, vendors as well as taxpayers in order to
take proper strict as well as standard decisions in order to execute the work of the project quite
successfully (Joslin & Muller, 2015). The entire team of the project uses honesty, fairness as
well as responsible values in order to properly drive the entire ethical conduct within the
management profession in order to make sure that the actions which are mainly undertaken are
considered as best and are within the interest of the project stakeholders.
Comparison among different project management approaches
It is found that there are number of different types of project management approaches that
are generally utilized by the organization as per their suitability in the project. Phased approach
is the waterfall approach that helps in breaking down the activities of the project into a number
of distinct as well as sequential steps (Batselier & Vanhoucke, 2015). It is found that structured
planning as well as controlling techniques are generally helpful in resolving the resistance to
